Something going on at the corner of the block
   It's the kids down there
   They were startin' to rock
   High black fever runnin' everyplace
   When the Greek kid pulled a knife
   and pushed it in his face
   Some girl makes it with a lover in the door...
   As the ambulance pulls away,
   she cries out more
  
   * And it's all night long, all night long
   On with the action
   You need the fastest legs alive
   On with the action
   If you can't run you ain't survive
   On with the action
   Mama's boy and teacher's pet...
   On with the action
   It's down our street, is it in yours yet
  
   All the kids stand laughin'
   They never had such fun
   Then someone cuts a blind man who just can't make a run
   And the queen who's been standin' behind the toilet door
   His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
   But the minister's starin'
   with his bible in his hand
   Was this God's children, he didn't understand
  
   * Repeat
   * Repeat
